Onze samenwerking met lokale boeren<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
De missie van Second Harvest of Silicon Valley is om honger in onze gemeenschap te be\u00ebindigen. Maar ons werk heeft ook een aanzienlijke impact op het milieu. Vorig jaar redde Second Harvest meer dan 42 miljoen kilo vers, hoogwaardig voedsel, waaronder groenten en fruit, zuivel en eiwitten. Door dit voedsel te hergebruiken \u2013 dat anders verloren zou zijn gegaan op de velden of in de winkels zou zijn weggegooid \u2013 helpen we ervoor te zorgen dat voedzaam voedsel de mensen in nood bereikt in plaats van te worden verspild. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Naast ons werk voor voedselredding voorkomt Second Harvest ook dat voedsel op andere manieren wordt verspild. Van de 57 miljoen kilo voedsel die we vorig jaar aan de gemeenschap hebben uitgedeeld, voldeed slechts 2.3% niet aan onze kwaliteitscontrolenormen \u2013 en zelfs dat werd goed gebruikt! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sinds 2010 werkt Second Harvest samen met twee kleinschalige veehouderijen en voorziet hen kosteloos van onze onbruikbare overtollige producten. De boeren gebruiken dit voedsel om hun koeien, paarden, kippen, geiten, varkens en eenden te voeren. Wat de twee boerderijen niet gebruiken, gaat naar Mission Trail Waste Systems, dat weggegooid voedsel verwerkt tot varkensvoer en organische vloeibare meststof. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wie maakt gebruik van ons overtollige voedsel?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Joe en Jorge zijn twee boeren en vrienden uit San Jose die samenwerken met Second Harvest om voedsel dat anders verloren zou gaan, om te zetten in voedsel voor hun vee en andere dieren. De twee vrienden halen al bijna 15 jaar voedsel op bij Second Harvest en zetten ongebruikt voedsel om in waardevol diervoeder. Deze duurzame samenwerking bespaart hen jaarlijks duizenden dollars aan hooi en verwerkt diervoeder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\nDe boeren komen v\u00f3\u00f3r zonsopgang, zodat het eten niet in de hete middagzon bakt en rot. Alle bakken die 's ochtends niet worden opgehaald, gaan naar de composteerfaciliteit van Mission Trail. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nJorge inspecteert een composthoop vol paprika's. "Ik ben op 58-jarige leeftijd met pensioen gegaan, ik heb geen gipsplaten meer en ik heb deze boerderij. Ik vind het echt leuk. Het zorgt ervoor dat ik het huis uit kom. Ik sta om 4 uur 's ochtends op en om 5 uur ben ik al bij de voedselbank. Ik vind het geweldig."<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nJoe heeft 30 Black Angus-runderen die hij voedt met producten van Second Harvest, samen met hooi, alfalfa en hop. "Als we geen groenten en fruit van jullie hadden gekregen, zouden onze dieren geen groenten en fruit eten. Mijn koeien zijn zo vet dankzij Second Harvest." Joe schat dat hij zonder de producten van Second Harvest jaarlijks $7.000-$8.000 meer aan hooi zou uitgeven.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nJorge kocht zijn boerderij in San Jose in 2005 en houdt koeien, paarden, kippen, geiten, varkens en eenden. "Het is erg duur om dieren te voeren, maar ik bespaar veel geld met Second Harvest Food."<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nTegen de tijd dat de vuilnisbakken zijn geladen<\/strong> Op de platte vrachtwagens van de boeren, de zon komt boven de horizon uit en de lucht kleurt van zwart naar roze. "Ik heb gisteren 19 bakken opgehaald, maar er zijn niet altijd zoveel bakken per dag", zegt Joe. "Soms neem ik er twee mee, soms tien."<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nJoe en Jorge boeren uit liefde. Boeren is een onderdeel van hun Portugese erfgoed en veel familieleden boeren nog steeds.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Wie eet de overtollige producten op? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>
\n
KOEIEN<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Terug op de boerderij, wanneer de tractor aanslaat om de compostbakken van de diepladers de velden in te rijden, horen de koeien de motor en komen aanrennen. Ze raken opgewonden over wat er te wachten staat: wortels, pompoen, appels, zoete aardappelen, uien, kool \u2013 ze vinden het allemaal lekker. Jorge weet dat ze opgewonden zijn, want ze wachten loeiend en huppelend op hem. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Joe en Jorge nemen bijna alle producten die beschikbaar zijn uit de tuin, behalve citrusvruchten. Joe legt uit hoe hij de citrusvruchten in de compostbakken verwerkt: "Koeien houden niet van citrusvruchten. Maar soms zit het gemengd met de groenten in deze compostbakken. Dus wat ik doe, is de citrusvruchten pakken en op de grond gooien, en het vee stapt erop. Ze eten het niet op, maar als ze erop stappen, ruik je de zoete citrusgeur in de lucht in plaats van de koeiengeur. Dat doe ik voor mijn buren. En de citrusvruchten worden hier op natuurlijke wijze gecomposteerd." <\/p>\n<\/div><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
PAARDEN<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>
\n
Pintu is het enige dier dat Jorge in de loop der jaren heeft gehouden, omdat hij het geweldig vindt om hem te hebben. Andere paarden komen en gaan op zijn boerderij, maar Pintu is er om snacks te eten en spontaan ritjes te maken met de kinderen in Jorge's familie. Pintu is dol op wortels en appels van Second Harvest. Hij krijgt twee tot drie appels per dag als traktatie, naast zijn normale dieet van alfalfa en hooi. <\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
KIPPEN <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Jorge houdt kippen voor de eieren. Om ze te laten produceren, geeft Jorge ze een vast dieet van kippenvoer en Second Harvest-resten zoals watermeloenen, appels en ma\u00efs. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
GEITEN<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jorge begon met een handjevol geiten op zijn boerderij en leerde al snel dat als je ze voedt en goed verzorgt, ze zich zullen vermenigvuldigen! <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
"Als je geiten hebt," lacht Jorge, "heb je er de ene dag vijf en de volgende dag vijftien! En ik heb maar \u00e9\u00e9n bok. Die verspilt geen tijd!" <\/p>\n\n\n\n
De geiten eten veel hooi, struiken en boombladeren op het terrein, en ze zijn dol op fruit, wortels en kool van Second Harvest. Jorge zegt dat zijn geiten vooral dol zijn op appels (zie foto hierboven) en pruimen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
VARKENS<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In tegenstelling tot wat vaak wordt gedacht, eten varkens niet alles. In de loop der jaren heeft Jorge geleerd dat ze vooral dol zijn op pompoen, komkommer, watermeloen, bruine rijst en melk. Jorge zegt dat ze "gek zijn op melk!" Varkens hebben granen nodig voor een uitgebalanceerd dieet en Jorge geeft ze graag bruine rijst als dat beschikbaar is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
EENDEN<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
De afgelopen weken heeft Jorge iets meer dan twee dozijn gratis eenden gekregen, maar hij geeft toe dat hij een beginnende eendenbezitter is. Toen hem gevraagd werd wat hij met de eenden gaat doen, zei hij: "Tot nu toe doe ik niets. Je geeft ze alleen maar eten." <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deze eenden eten alle groenten en fruit, vooral appels, kool en ma\u00efs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jouw impact <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Second Harvest is dankbaar voor lokale boeren zoals Joe en Jorge, die graag gebruik willen maken van het kleine deel van ons voedsel dat niet aan onze gemeenschap kan worden gedistribueerd. Door dit voedsel nuttig te gebruiken, helpen Joe en Jorge Second Harvest duurzame alternatieven te vinden voor voedselverspilling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deze opmerkelijke inspanning wordt mogelijk gemaakt door gulle donateurs, partners en vrijwilligers die ons lokale voedselsysteem steunen. Deze steun stelt ons in staat ons voedselhulpprogramma te maximaliseren en onze buren die honger lijden te voeden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
